Tofino - Ucluelet (apsciik tasii)

Easy Smooth surfaces and gentle climbing.

Difficulty Our overall read of how demanding a route is. We score surface roughness, climbing, singletrack, and how far it runs from services. The route publisher's own rating, a lot of busy road riding, or sheer scale can push the tier up, never down.

How we describe routes →

ʔapsčiik t̓ašii ('going the right direction on the path' in Nuu-chah-nulth) links Tofino and Ucluelet with 25 km of paved, family-friendly trail through Pacific Rim National Park Reserve's rainforest, with beach access points to Long Beach along the way. Flat, safe, and spectacular: ride it one way with the wind or 50 km return, and let the surf schedule your stops.
